美國網站外交政策在2023年6月23日發表了一篇標題為America Dropped the Baton in the Rare-Earth Race的文章。翻譯成中文是美國在稀土方面就好像跌失了接力棒。 根據雷神ceo說，超過95％的稀土或金屬來自中國，沒有其他選擇。如果撤離中國，美國要很多很多年才能從友好國家重建生產線… “More than 95 percent of rare-earth materials or metals come from, or are processed in, China. There is no alternative,” defense giant Raytheon chief Greg Hayes warned this week. “If we had to pull out of China, it would take us many, many years to reestablish that capability either domestically or in other friendly countries.”…
@@华夏蒲公英 "普遍地认为美国设计师受到了雅克141的启发，而研发出了F-35垂直起降战机。2014年美国一篇军事杂志上刊登文章称：“当雅科夫列夫设计局正在寻求资金以延续雅克141项目时，洛克希德公司为其提供了部分资金，以换取雅克设计局的一些设计数据和飞行性能数据，但并未指出具体获得了什么样的数据，是否是雅克141的数据。”后来美国表示并未将雅克的数据用于制造F35战机，F35相关的垂直起降战机起始于1960年的联合攻击战斗机项目，相关研发计划一直延续到1990年，在淘汰了多达数十个方案以后，正式定型为F35项目，并最终于2006年进行了首飞。并且三段式轴对称喷口垂直起降发动机也是美国在上世纪60年代期间研发的，跟苏联和俄罗斯没有任何关系，因此F35与雅克141也没有任何联系。" - 搜狐 www.sohu.com/a/458417378_607689 "F-35B lift system: exhaust of the single engine goes through 1 nozzle, engine drives lift fan. This fan is no engine, think more like a propeller from a helicopter." "Yak-141 lift system: exhaust of the main engine goes through one nozzle, two lift engines provide extra lift." "The Yak141 uses three engines, two of which are dead weight during normal flight. The F-35B uses a single engine, which drives a lifting fan when hovering. This system should be a lot lighter and easier on maintenance than the system used on the Yak. Lockheed Martin certainly studied the Yak-141, and drew inspiration from it. But the system they developed is different from the Yak-141, and most certainly not a copy." - Matthew Bekaert www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that-the-American-F-35-copied-Soviet-Yak-141
现任中情局局长伯恩斯，二零零八年在俄国任职，给时任国务卿赖斯写道нет is нет. （нет，俄文，“不”）"Ukrainian entry into NATO is the brightest of all redlines for the Russian elite (not just Putin). In more than two and a half years of conversations with key Russian players, from knuckle-draggers in the dark recesses of the Kremlin to Putin's sharpest liberal critics, I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests."
